The plaintiff fell about 14 feet and landed on his head on a concrete floor. He sustained a traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures.
Plaintiff’s treating physicians opined that the plaintiff will experience permanent spinal and facial pain related to his orthopedic injuries, and is unable to return to competitive employment.
